Product details
Overview
MAX4781EUE+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-channel analog multiplexer configured as a single-pole, eight-throw (SP8T) switch with CMOS architecture, operating from +1.6V to +3.6V supply. It delivers 0.7Ω on-resistance at +3V, 0.3Ω channel-to-channel RON matching, and rail-to-rail signal handling for battery-powered audio routing and low-voltage data-acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX4781EUE+ datasheet, MAX4781EUE+ pinout, MAX4781EUE+ application, or MAX4781EUE+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 11ns turn-on time, 16-pin TSSOP package, +1.8V logic compatibility, and pin compatibility with 74HC4051 and MAX4617 - all critical for space-constrained, low-power signal-switching designs.
Technical Context
The MAX4781EUE+ implements a high-speed CMOS analog switch matrix controlled by three binary address inputs (A, B, C) and an active-high ENABLE pin. Its internal architecture supports bidirectional signal flow with break-before-make switching (2ns typical), minimizing transient glitches during channel transitions.
It features integrated ESD protection diodes on all analog I/O pins, enabling robust operation with rail-to-rail input signals up to VCC or GND. The device draws only 1µA quiescent supply current and maintains <0.2Ω RON flatness over the full analog signal range at +3V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| On-Resistance (RON) | 0.7Ω at +3V supply - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in precision analog paths |
| RON Matching | 0.3Ω max between channels - enables accurate gain/phase matching in multi-channel sensor or audio routing |
| Turn-On Time (tON) | 11ns typical - supports high-speed multiplexing in sampling systems up to ~30MHz effective bandwidth |
| Analog Signal Range | Rail-to-rail (0V to VCC) - allows full-scale signal switching without clipping in single-supply systems |
| Logic Compatibility | +1.8V CMOS - interfaces directly with low-voltage microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting |
| Supply Voltage Range | +1.6V to +3.6V - supports operation across Li-ion battery discharge curve (3.6V → 2.7V) and 1.8V/3.3V domains |
| Off-Isolation | -90dB at 1MHz - suppresses crosstalk between inactive channels in sensitive measurement circuits |
Pinout & Package
MAX4781EUE+ is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package (4.4mm × 5.0mm, 0.65mm pitch) with exposed pad not connected internally. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or beveled corner per JEDEC MO-153.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | X | Analog common output node - connects to load or ADC input; bidirectional signal path |
| 2–4, 11–13 | X0–X7 | Analog inputs - eight independent channels selectable via A/B/C address lines |
| 5 | N.C. | No internal connection - must be left floating or tied to GND; no electrical function |
| 6 | ENABLE | Active-high global enable - drives all switches open when high; low enables address decoding |
| 7 | GND | Ground reference for analog and digital circuitry - requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| 8–10 | A, B, C | 3-bit binary address inputs - select one of eight Xn inputs to connect to X output (LSB = A) |
| 14 | VCC | +1.6V to +3.6V supply - powers analog switch core and digital control logic |
| 15–16 | NC / Exposed Pad | Not electrically connected - pad may be soldered to GND plane for thermal relief only |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low on-resistance flatness | 0.1Ω max variation over full signal range - preserves linearity in precision instrumentation and audio paths |
| High current capability | 150mA continuous per channel - supports driving low-impedance loads like op-amp inputs or transducer interfaces |
| Ultra-low charge injection | -110pC typical - minimizes voltage glitch at output during switching, critical for sample-and-hold accuracy |
| Fast switching with BBM | 2ns break-before-make interval - prevents momentary short-circuits during channel transitions |
| Pin compatibility | Direct replacement for 74HC4051 and MAX4617 - enables drop-in upgrade with no PCB redesign |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX4617ESE+ | Higher RON (1.5Ω @ +3V), slower tON (25ns), same 16-pin TSSOP footprint | Lower performance in speed- and resistance-sensitive applications; suitable for cost-optimized designs | Select MAX4617ESE+ only if 0.7Ω RON and 11ns switching are not required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum analog signal voltage range supported by the MAX4781EUE+?
The MAX4781EUE+ supports rail-to-rail analog signals from 0V to VCC. When powered from a +3.0V supply, this means signals from 0V to +3.0V can pass through the switch without clipping or distortion. This capability is enabled by its CMOS process and internal level-shifting design, making MAX4781EUE+ ideal for single-supply systems such as portable instrumentation and battery-powered audio devices.
Does the MAX4781EUE+ require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on its address pins (A, B, C)?
No, the MAX4781EUE+ does not require external pull-up or pull-down resistors on A, B, or C pins. Its digital inputs have CMOS-compatible thresholds (VIH = 1.4V, VIL = 0.5V at +3V supply) and exhibit ≤1µA leakage current, allowing direct interfacing with microcontroller GPIOs. However, for deterministic startup behavior, it is recommended to initialize these pins to known states in firmware before enabling the device.
Can the MAX4781EUE+ be used with a 1.8V supply while maintaining full functionality?
Yes, the MAX4781EUE+ operates fully across +1.6V to +3.6V. At +1.8V, it delivers 1.6Ω typical on-resistance, 30ns max turn-on time, and retains +1.0V logic-high compatibility. All specifications - including leakage, capacitance, and isolation - remain guaranteed over temperature. This makes MAX4781EUE+ uniquely suited for systems powered directly by single-cell Li-ion batteries or 1.8V logic domains.
What is the purpose of the N.C. pin (Pin 5) on the MAX4781EUE+ TSSOP package?
Pin 5 of the MAX4781EUE+ is designated N.C. (No Connection) and is not bonded internally. It must be left unconnected - neither tied to GND nor VCC. While some layouts may connect it to ground for mechanical stability, doing so provides no electrical benefit and risks unintended coupling if routing is non-ideal. The MAX4781EUE+ datasheet explicitly states this pin has no internal function.
How does the ENABLE pin affect switching behavior in the MAX4781EUE+?
The ENABLE pin (Pin 6) is active-high and globally disables all analog paths when driven high. When ENABLE = high, all eight Xn-to-X switches open regardless of A/B/C state - effectively isolating the output. When ENABLE = low, the device responds to A/B/C inputs to route the selected channel. This feature allows hardware-level shutdown independent of address logic, simplifying power sequencing in multi-mux systems using MAX4781EUE+.
